Mrs. Bilkhu And Her Two Little Finches
Amarjit Bhambra

A very sad little story the Mrs Bilkhu and her finches.

Mrs. Bilkhu was in 87 year old and living in her own flat when she decided
To overcome her loneness, she decided on getting two little finches.
So she was given one brown and one white one and decided to get a nest
Box for them. The sound of them chirping away was the happiest song she
Had ever heard.

Often one would escape and fly around her flat. Mrs. Bikhu always wore
A thin long head scarf which she often used to catch them as they flew around
Her rooms and than onto the carpet.

I was caring for her for a little while, and Mrs. Bilkhu was my mother. While Mrs.
Bilkhu rested in her bed room due to illness; I used to watch her finches.
The tanned one was beginning to sit inside the nest box and the white one used
To fly to the bottom of the cage looking to pick up what it could and l knew what the white one was looking for.

I remember l used to watch the black bird in my own garden, search for things to
Build its nest. One day l saw the blackbird pick up some white tissue and string.
It was part of the material for nest building.

Anyway, my mother was excited for her little finches that we looked around her
Flat to find some tissue and cotton wool and we cut these into thin strips and put
Some on the floor of the cage. These little finches were in love and were in the process of building their nest. The could chirp away, they would take it in
Turns to come out of the nest box and pick up the strips of material left there by us to be taken back into the nest box.

Every night the tanned one would sit inside the nest box. One day l came into
Mrs. Bilkhu’s flat and the white finch had disappeared. I looked all over the
Flat, behind furniture but could not find the bird. So we new that it had flown away.

We were left with the brown finch who would always sit back in the nest box as
Usual, with his little head looking out.

Mrs. Bilkhu was admitted into hospital, she always asked with l had fed her bird.
Personally l was so rushed off my feet; with looking after Mrs.Bilkhu and my own family that l must admit that l must have forgotten to do so. (Now l feel so guilty and often l God to forgive me, I don’t know if l will be forgiven).

Soon Mrs. Bilkhu was sent home from hospital, I was so worried at the state of
Mrs. Bilkhu’s health. I had cooked a dish for her before she came home. She had plenty in the fridge and she would let me eat what l want. Often she would
Even cook for me and herself and for other people too. She would do this before l even traveled to be with her for the day. I kept asking her to eat something. But she kept saying that she was not hungry,

She retired to bed early with just a glass of water. I was in the other room and
Decided to sleep the night as she was not well. I wanted to sleep early as l thought that she would need me during the night but instead l started to cut some material to sew an Indian suite for my mother. For the first time in my life l do not know why l was to sew an Indian dress for my mother. (Had never given her
One) I had sewn dresses etc for other people in the past.

Anyways as l was cutting this material, I got sight of the brown finch dropping
Something white on the floor of its cage. I remember saying something nasty out of angry perhaps but it is not normally my nature to say things like this.

“My mother has not eaten so why should l feed you”. I said. At the same time
thinking that the white in it beak was a piece of bread that my mother must have fed it anyway.

On the fall was a photo of Guru Nanak (he is our Guru and preached on the name of only one God) I closed the light on that night, only to be disturbed by
The finch. I could hear it on the bottom of the cage hoping around – I have never known it to be restless like this before. He would away be in the nest box at night time. Anyway, l got up and opened the light and he hoped back in the
Nest box.

At night, l lay praying to God as usual and l wondered if my children back home would put up with me, in spending the nights to be with my sick mother.
They had to cope with their own cooking etc for a while l thought and fell asleep. At night l am sure l felt someone pulling the cover whilst l was asleep.

In the morning the carer found Mrs. Bilkhu dead. After which, l went home.
Obviously l was worried about the finch, so my sister and l went back to
Our mother’s flat only to find the finch sitting in its nest box dead and than l realized that the white bits was not bread but bits of cotton on the floor of the
Cage.

It was doing strange things on the night before my mother died and than 2 days later he died too.

She had taken her finch with her.
